Material handling at a glance

Source: The evolution and future of manufacturing: A review

• Material handling equipment (MHE) are crucial parts of today’s manufacturing systems• Plays an important role in enhancing productivity and flexibility of the entire system as well as

effective utilization of resources. • The cost of material handling constitutes15% to 70% of the total manufacturing cost of a product. • Material handling systems integrate equipment and other technologies of manufacturing systems. • There are six categories identified by Mirhosseyni and Webb, namely, industrial trucks, floor

conveyors, overhead conveyors, automatic guided vehicles, cranes and manuals
